ndiswrapper will drive the Marvell-based cards under FC3 (haven't tried
FC4 - took the card back and got a better one) with some caveats.
Mainly, you had better be near your AP when inserting the card,
otherwise the card goes a little crazy.  These cards say "v2" on the top
of the card.

Never tried the China-made cards, but the other WG511s (silver antenna,
made in Taiwan) work very well with FC3 using the prism54 driver.

I've put up some info on some of the WG511 cards here:
